From March 8 to 14, 2017, you can change outcomes for women and girls through CARE’s Walk In Her Shoes. Join CARE and Sheryl Sandberg, Honorary Chair of Walk In Her Shoes, Facebook COO and founder of LeanIn.Org, as we walk in solidarity with women all around the world. You’ll experience their daily journey by walking 10,000 steps, and you’ll help create a better future by fundraising for CARE programs that teach, finance, and support women in poverty.

I know this question sounds ridiculous of course girls deserve equal rights – but in developing countries around the world, millions of girls face life threatening disadvantages â€“ malnutrition, lack of education, violence, and sexual abuse. All because they are born as girls.
